Re: Loss of Earnings - Illness / Car Repair

Not sure if you can claim back loss of earnings from dealership, you probably just have to factor this into your income. With regard to personal accident/sickness, there is nothing available for short term sickness (a week etc), but I work in financial services and I believe that all self-employed people should have an income protection policy. This will cover part of your income in the event of long term sickness or if you were unable to work because of an accident. Most of these policies don't kick in until you have been off for about 3 months - but you can choose a longer or shorter period (min usually 1 month). It is therefore very important that you have sufficient savings to cover 3 months income as a minimum. Shorter amounts of time off work just have to be taken in your stride I'm afraid - one of the "perks" of self employment is no sick pay!

Re: Loss of Earnings - Illness / Car Repair

As for illness as a self employed person its part of life that you loose earnings. Although critical illness cover can be bought to cover some of the nastier things that could put you out of acton long term.

As for car being broken, contact the DIA they published a statement you can add to a car order form stating the vehicle is fit for the purpose you intend to use it for. If it all goes bad you will then have a way to demand compensation.

Or, buy a car from a garage that has courtesy cars with dual controls in.
